FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Compounds and methods in the fields of chemistry and medicine are disclosed. Some of the disclosed embodiments include compounds, compositions and methods of using heterocycle amines. Some of the disclosed embodiments include heterocycle amines useful to treat inflammatory disorders.

BACKGROUND

The recruitment of immune cells to sites of injury involves the concerted interactions of a large number of soluble mediators. Several cytokines appear to play roles in these processes, for example, IL-1 and TNF. Both cytokines are derived from mononuclear cells and macrophages along with other cell types. Physiologically, they produce many of the same proinflammatory responses, including fever, sleep, anorexia, mobilization and activation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, induction of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes, increase in adhesion molecule expression, activation of B-cells, T-cells and natural killer cells, and stimulation of production of other cytokines. Other actions include a contribution to the tissue degeneration seen in chronic inflammatory conditions, such as stimulation of fibroblast proliferation, induction of collagenase, etc. They have also been implicated in the process of bone resorption and adipose tissue regulation. Thus, these cytokines play key roles in a large number of pathological conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and sepsis.

The role of IL-1 in inflammation has been demonstrated by the ability of the highly specific IL-1 receptor antagonist protein (IL-1 Ra, or IRAP) to relieve inflammatory conditions. IL-1 treatment of cells induces the formation of a complex consisting of the two IL-1 receptor chains, IL-IRI and IL-1 RAcP, and the resulting heterodimer recruits an adaptor molecule designated as MyD88. MyD88 binds to a protein designated IRAK (Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase). IRAK is subsequently phosphorylated and released from the receptor complex to interact with a tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor, TRAF6, which transduces the signal to downstream effector molecules. TRAF6 can trigger the NIK/IKK kinase cascade to activate the transcription factor NF-κB. NF-κB regulates a number of genes that, in turn, regulate immune and inflammatory responses.

Four IRAKs have been identified: IRAK-1, IRAK-2, the monomyeloic cell-specific IRAK-M, also known as IRAK-3, and IRAK-4. IRAK proteins have been shown to play a role in transducing signals other than those originating from IL-I receptors, including signals triggered by activation of IL-18 receptors and LPS receptors. Overexpression of IRAK-2 and IRAK-M has been shown to be capable of reconstituting the response to IL-1 and LPS in an IRAK deficient cell line.

A mixture of 4-ethylpyridin-2-amine (100 mg, 0.821 mmol) and bis(1-benzotriazolyl)methanethione (250 mg, 0.891 mmol) were dissolved in 5 mL of anhydrous N,N-dimethylacetamide. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. 4-(Oxazol-5-yl)aniline (130 mg, 0.821 mmol) was the added and the solution stirred at 50° C. for an additional hour. Water (15 mL) was then added and the resulting precipitate collected by vacuum filtration and dried under vacuum. The resulting tan powder was used without further purification. MS calculated for C₁₇H₁₆N₄OS: 325.1045; [M+H]⁺, found: 324.89.

1-(4-Ethylpyridin-2-yl)-3-(4-(oxazol-5-yl)phenyl)thiourea (0.27 g, 0.8 mmol) was dissolved in 5 mL of acetic acid. Benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide (320 mg, 0.821 mmol) was then added directly. The mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and diluted with 15 mL of water. The resulting solution was then made basic through addition of solid KOH pellets. The resulting precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with water and dried under vacuum to afford the crude product as a tan solid. A portion of the solid was purified by rp-HPLC affording 0.6 mg of N-(4-ethylpyridin-2-yl)-6-(oxazol-5-yl)benzo[d]thiazol-2-amine 501 as a yellow solid. MS calculated for C₁₇H₁₄N₄OS: 323.0888; [M+H]+, found: 322.93. ¹H-NMR (400 MHz, MeOD) 8.25-8.23 (m, 2H), 8.17 (s, 1H), 7.75 (d, J=8.4, 1H), 7.66 (d, J=8.4, 1H) 7.50 (s, 1H), 6.97 (s, 1H), 6.88 (d, J=8.4, 1H), 2.68 (q, J=7.7, 2H), 1.28 (t, J=7.7, 3H).

To a solution of 6-bromoimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-amine (200 mg; 0.94 mmol) in dry THF (4 mL) was added NaH (90 mg; 3.76 mmol) in portions at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at r.t. for half an hour. Then 2-chloro-4-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)pyridine (222 mg, 1.1 mmol) was added. The mixture was heated to 120° C. for 24 hrs. The mixture was quenched by addition of H₂O (20 mL) slowly at 0° C., extracted with DCM (30 mL×3). The combined organic phases were concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography on silica (DCM:MeOH=15:1) to obtain 6-bromo-N-(4-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-amine (110 mg, yield 80%) as a brown solid.

To a solution of 6-bromo-N-(4-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-amine (50 mg, 0.13 mmol) in mixed dioxane/H₂O (2 mL/0.5 mL) was added the pinacol boronate ester (59.2 mg, 0.2 mmol), K₂CO₃ (55.6 mg, 0.4 mmol) and Pd(dppf)Cl₂ (10.8 mg, 0.013 mmol) under nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture reacted under microwave condition at 140° C. for 2 hrs. After cooling, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by prep-TLC to afford 6-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-N-(4-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-amine 493 (8.5 mg, yield 17.7%). ¹H NMR (400 MHz MeOD) δ 8.93 (s, 1H), 8.47-8.45 (d, J=5.2, 1H), 8.12 (s, 2H), 8.06-8.03 (dd, J=9.2, 1H), 7.85-7.82 (dd, J=9.6, 1H), 7.14-7.11 (m, 2H), 4.43 (s, 2H), 3.55-3.30 (m, 4H), 2.14 (s, 4H).

The coating solution is removed and in 80 μL/well, a kinase reaction mixture is added (for IRAK-1: 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM EGTA, 1 mM NaF, 0.5 mM benzamidine, 1 mM DTT, 3 μM ATP, 1 mM of biotinylated substrate peptide bio-ARFSRFAGSSPSQSSMVAR, sequence derived from IRAK-1; for IRAK-4: 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM EGTA, 1 mM NaF, 0.5 mM benzamidine, 1 mM DTT, 10% glycerol, 10 μM ATP, 1 mM of biotinylated substrate peptide bio-RRRVTSPARRS, sequence derived from GFAP).

At 10 μL/well in DMSO test compounds are added covering a final concentration range from 1 nM to 30 mM. Recombinant, full-length IRAK-1 or IRAK-4 enzyme (baculovirus expression system) is added in 10 μL buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 2 mM EGTA, 0.5 mM benzamidine, 1 mM DTT, 10 mM MgCl₂, and glycerol 10% (IRAK-4 only) to initiate the kinase reaction. The reaction mixture is incubated at room temperature for 60 min on a shaker. During this incubation the substrate peptide is being phosphorylated by the kinase and gets captured onto the surface of the wells by neutravidin or streptavidin, respectively. The plate is washed 3× with 150 μL distilled water to terminate the reaction and remove components of the reaction mixture. A conventional chemiluminescent ELISA detection technique is initiated by adding 100 μL/well primary antibody (monoclonal antibody YC10, generated to recognize the phosphorylated epitope in the substrate peptide; use at 1:20,000 dilution for IRAK-1 and 1:10,000 dilution for IRAK-4) premixed with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody (commercially available from several sources; use at 1:10,000 dilution) in PBS containing 2% BSA. The solution is incubated at room temperature for 40 min on a shaker, then washed 3× with 150 μL of water. 100 μL 10× diluted SuperSignal HRP substrate (from Pierce) is added and after 5 min incubation the chemiluminescent signal is captured by a Labsystems LuminoSkan luminometer. The point of 50% inhibition of IRAK-1 or IRAK-4 enzyme activity (IC₅₀) is determined. Table 4 summarizes data obtained using an assay substantially similar to the foregoing method (Compound: Cmpd).
